Welcome to Matrox Multi
The Matrox Multi family of input/output cards are single-slot SDI cards that
provide up to four independent inputs or outputs to Mac Pro and Apple Xserve
systems. You can install multiple Matrox Multi cards in one system, and
configure each card individually using the Matrox Multi preferences window.
Designed to operate with dedicated third-party applications, Matrox Multi cards
bring a new level of channel density to your Mac system.
Matrox Multi cards feature simultaneous and independent SDI inputs/outputs
that allow you to capture and play back different video formats at the same time.
Multi cards include a 10-bit on-board hardware scaler, and support a full range of
broadcast-quality video/audio inputs and outputs in NTSC and PAL, as well as
480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i resolutions at all frame rates. All Multi cards
feature up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio, four unbalanced analog audio
output RCA connectors for monitoring (not supported on Multi-Ingest), one
analog black burst reference input with loop-through output, one LTC input, and
an RS-422 connector for device control.
Matrox Multi system requirements
Matrox Multi requires a Mac system or Apple Xserve system with the following
configuration:
• Intel-based Mac Pro or Apple Xserve.
• Mac OS X v10.6.7.
• One free PCIe ×8 (electrical) slot or greater.
For up-to-date information about system requirements, check the Matrox Multi

Before you install your Matrox Multi hardware
Read the following information carefully before attempting to install Matrox
Multi hardware.
Start with a functioning system
Before attempting any Matrox Multi installation, you should have a Mac
computer system with Mac OS X fully installed and functioning smoothly. This
will avoid potential problems later on.
Avoid costly damage
Static electricity from your body can damage your Matrox Multi card or your
system. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is generated every time
you move. It’s often too small to cause a spark, but it can still cause damage to
sensitive electronic components or at least reduce their lifespan.
To avoid damage, please observe the following precautions:
• Do not remove your Matrox Multi card from its antistatic bag until you’re
ready to install it. Before removing the card, place the package within easy
reach of the area where you intend to perform the installation.
• You should avoid touching the chips and other components on the circuit
board. Try to handle the card by its edges.
• Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%.
• Do not wear wool or synthetic clothing. These fabrics tend to generate more
static electricity than cotton, which is best for this kind of work.
• Turn off the power switches on your system and its connected components.
Once you’ve opened your system, drain static electricity from your body by
touching a bare metal surface on your system chassis before you install or
remove any parts of your system. If you have a grounding wrist strap, use it while
handling and installing any components in your system.

Setting the genlock loop-through switch
Matrox Multi features genlock loop-through that lets you use the REF OUT
connector to daisy chain the external genlock reference input (connected to REF
IN) to another device’s reference input. Before installing the Multi card in your
system, set the genlock loop-through switch located on the Matrox Multi card to
either enable genlock loop-through, or disable loop-through by terminating the
reference signal.
If you will connect an external genlock source to Multi’s REF IN connector, and
you plan on using the REF OUT connector, set the genlock switch to
REF OUT connector will not be used, set the switch to
75Ω to terminate the
reference signal.
¦NoteIf the genlock switch is set to HI-Z, you can still terminate the reference
signal by connecting a BNC 75Ω terminator to the REF OUT connector.

Installing your Matrox Multi card
The Matrox Multi card is a three-quarter-length PCIe ×8 card designed to operate
in an Intel-based Mac Pro or Apple Xserve system. You can install multiple
Matrox Multi cards in one system. The maximum number of Multi cards that you
can install depends on the number of suitable PCIe slots in your system. For
detailed instructions on how to perform the following steps, refer to your Mac
Pro or Xserve documentation.
1 Shut down your Mac Pro or Xserve system, unplug the power cord and all
the cables from the unit, and open the Mac Pro or Xserve chassis.
2 Ensure that the genlock loop-through switch on the card is set as desired (see
“Setting the genlock loop-through switch” on page 5).
3 Insert the Matrox Multi card in an available PCIe slot in your Mac Pro or
Xserve, and secure the card into place.
²Caution To avoid damage to the Multi card when installed in an Xserve
system, ensure that the metal mesh gasket around the slot opening on the
Xserve does not bend and make contact with any pins or components on the
Multi card.
4 Close your Mac Pro or Xserve chassis, and reconnect the power cord and all
the cables to the unit.

Inputs
This section describes the inputs that are available on the Multi card and cable.
Matrox Multi card
• SDI 1 to 4 (Multi-Ingest) / SDI 1 and 2 (Multi-I/O) Provide inputs for
use with SDI devices. Each SDI input supports HD/SD video and up to 16
channels of embedded audio. The independent and simultaneous SDI inputs
allow you to capture different video formats at the same time. For example,
you can capture NTSC and PAL video simultaneously using two Multi
inputs. If your Multi card includes SDI outputs (see “Outputs” on page 14),
you can use the SDI inputs and outputs at the same time.
On Matrox Multi-Ingest cards, inputs 2 and 4 are the key channels for inputs
1 and 3 respectively. On Matrox Multi-I/O cards, input 2 is the key channel
for input 1. When your Multi card is installed and your system is running,

green LEDs illuminate the SDI input connectors. Connect an SDI
video/audio cable from a camera, VTR, or other video input source.
¦NoteSDI inputs are not available on Matrox Multi-Playback cards.
Matrox Multi cable
• REF IN For Matrox Multi-I/O and Multi-Playback cards, this input allows
you to genlock all devices connected to the Multi outputs to an external
genlock source (bi-level analog black burst for SD, or analog tri-level sync
for HD). To compensate for cable delays, Multi offers timing-offset controls
that align your video output relative to your external genlock source (see
“Specifying your genlock settings” on page 19).
All Matrox Multi cards feature genlock loop-through that lets you use the
REF OUT connector to daisy chain the external genlock reference input
(connected to REF IN) to another device’s reference input, as explained in
“Setting the genlock loop-through switch” on page 5.
• LTC I N Provides a BNC input for a longitudinal time code (LTC) signal,
which allows a third-party application to synchronize your Multi system
with a master time source device.
Outputs
This section describes the outputs that are available on the Multi card and cable.
Matrox Multi card
• SDI 1 to 4 (Multi-Playback) / SDI 3 and 4 (Multi-I/O) Provide outputs
for use with SDI devices. Each SDI output supports HD/SD video and up to
16 channels of embedded audio. The independent and simultaneous SDI
outputs allow you to output different video formats at the same time. If your
Multi card includes SDI inputs (see “Inputs” on page 13), you can use the
SDI inputs and outputs at the same time.
On Matrox Multi-Playback cards, outputs 2 and 4 are the key channels for
outputs 1 and 3 respectively. On Matrox Multi-I/O cards, output 2 is the key
channel for output 1. When your Multi card is installed and your system is
running, red LEDs illuminate the SDI output connectors. Connect an SDI
video/audio cable to a video monitor, VTR, or other SDI device. You can
also perform 5.1 surround sound monitoring through an SDI output by
connecting to a third-party device, such as an SDI audio de-embedder.
¦NoteSDI outputs are not available on Matrox Multi-Ingest cards.
Chapter 3, Connecting External Devices to Matrox Multi
Page 23
Matrox Multi cable
• REF OUT This output provides a loop-through for the external reference
genlock source connected to Multi’s REF IN connector. This allows you to
daisy chain the genlock reference input to another device’s reference input.
To use the REF OUT connector, the genlock loop-through switch on the
Multi card must be enabled (see “Setting the genlock loop-through switch”
on page 5).
¡ Important When genlock loop-through is enabled, if you connect an
external genlock source to Multi’s REF IN connector and you’re not using
the REF OUT connector, you must terminate the reference signal by
connecting a BNC 75Ω terminator to REF OUT.
• OUT 1 to OUT 4 (Multi-I/O and Multi-Playback) Allow you to output

Introduction
This chapter describes the settings in the Matrox Multi preferences window for
configuring your Multi card, and explains how to view information about your
Multi card, such as the serial number and software version.
Depending on your Multi hardware, some of the options described in this chapter
may not be available, and your Matrox Multi preferences window may not appear
exactly as shown.
¡ Important Before defining your settings, make sure that your Matrox Multi
card is installed in your system.
Matrox Multi card selection and settings
This section explains how to select a Multi card for configuration in a system
with more than one Multi card installed, and how the Multi card settings are
stored.
You can specify different settings for each Multi card in your system by
switching between the cards in the Multi preferences window. A Multi card’s
settings are automaticaly stored in your system, and appear in the Multi
preferences window when the card is selected.
Multi card settings are stored by PCIe slot and Multi card type. For example, if
you specify settings for a Multi-Playback card installed in PCIe slot #1, the
“Multi-Playback” settings are linked to that PCIe slot. If you move the card to
another PCIe slot in your system, you must re-define your settings. However, the
“Multi-Playback” settings for PCIe slot #1 remain in your system and apply to
any Multi-Playback card installed in PCIe slot #1. By switching the type of Multi
card in a PCIe slot and defining its settings, you can use the same PCIe slot for
different types of Multi cards. Since the settings are stored by card type, your
system can store one setting for each type of Multi card for each PCIe slot.
°To select a Matrox Multi card for configuration:
1 From the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click the
Matrox Multi icon.
2 Select the desired Multi card from the Matrox Multi card list. The options
and settings for the selected card will appear in the Multi preferences
window.

Specifying your genlock settings
¦NoteGenlock settings do not apply to Matrox Multi-Ingest cards.
You can select the source to which you want to genlock all devices connected to
the Multi outputs (see “Outputs” on page 14). You can genlock your Multi
outputs to either an external genlock source, Multi’s internal genlock, or to any
source connected to a Multi SDI input (Matrox Multi-I/O only). If required, you
can also adjust the timing offset for each Multi video output.
¡ Important The selected genlock source applies to all Matrox Multi outputs. To
ensure good output results, make sure that your output format is compatible with
your genlock source’s video format.
1 From the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click the
Matrox Multi icon.
2 If you have more than one Multi card installed in your system, select the card
that you want to configure from the
Multi card selection and settings” on page 18).
3 Click Genlock.

4 Under Output Genlock Source, select the source to which you want to
genlock all Multi outputs. When a source is connected to a Multi input, or its
REF IN connector, Multi automatically detects the format of the signal and
displays it next to the corresponding input:
$ Internal Genlock to Multi’s internal reference signal at the selected
frame rate.
Specifying your genlock settings
Page 28
20
$ External (REF IN) Genlock to an external analog genlock source that is
connected to Multi’s REF IN connector, such as a bi-level analog black
burst for SD or a tri-level sync for HD, or a VTR that has a built-in TBC.
$ Input 1 and 2 (Multi-I/O only) Genlock to the source connected to the
SDI input.
¡ Important To ensure good output results, make sure that your genlock
source’s video format is compatible with the Multi video output format.
5 Use the settings under Video Output Timing Offset to adjust the
horizontal timing of the video output relative to your genlock source for each
Multi SDI output. This lets you compensate for cable delays within your
system.
Specifying your analog audio output settings
¦NoteAnalog audio output settings do not apply to Matrox Multi-Ingest cards.
The Matrox Multi analog audio outputs (OUT 1 to 4) let you monitor any audio
pair from any Multi SDI output. You can choose to use your Multi card’s default
audio mapping settings, or customize the settings to suit your needs.
The Multi-I/O and Multi-Playback analog audio outputs are always genlocked to
the genlock source selected on the
settings” on page 19).

option to use your Multi card’s default audio mapping settings. By default,
analog audio output pairs 1/2 and 3/4 will automatically output audio tracks
1/2 and 3/4 respectively from the source connected to Multi SDI output 1.
The analog audio outputs are genlocked to the source selected on the
Genlock pane (see “Specifying your genlock settings” on page 19).
5 If you selected the Enable audio mapping option, customize your Multi
card’s audio mapping as follows:
$ Multi-I/O Select the Source of the audio, and then the Audio tracks
that you want to monitor for each audio output pair. The specified tracks
will be routed to the corresponding Multi analog audio output connectors
for monitoring.
$ Multi-Playback For each of the Multi analog audio output pairs, select
the
Source of the audio and the Audio tracks that you want to monitor.
The specified tracks will be routed to the corresponding Multi analog
audio output connectors for monitoring.
¦NoteThe currently selected genlock frame rate is displayed to the right of
the
Enable audio mapping option. See “Specifying your genlock settings”
on page 19 to modify your genlock settings.
$ You can mute a Multi analog audio output pair by selecting Mute for the
corresponding audio pair.
